Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing shrinkage-adapted composite materials, which comprise at least one ceramic material component, and the composite materials obtainable by this method.
  • the task is often to combine different materials (e.g. ceramic and metal or ceramic I and ceramic II) to form a unit. If such material composites are produced using powder metallurgical processes, it is often additionally required to first implement unequal material pairings in the unfired state, in order then to sinter them in a common sintering cycle (co-firing) to form the actual product.
  • materials e.g. ceramic and metal or ceramic I and ceramic II
  • co-firing common sintering cycle
  • Component has specific physical properties such as E-modulus, thermal expansion coefficient and mass transfer properties (sintering activity).
  • the differences in the sintering activity lead to different shrinkages during the sintering process, so that distortions or complete destruction of the component can already occur during the compression phase.
  • intact components often have very high residual stresses, which are due on the one hand to the different sintering shrinkage and on the other hand to the differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials involved.
  • the most widespread techniques include the use of low-internal glass phases, via which in conjunction with corresponding ones Starting powders sintering temperature and sintering shrinkage can be adjusted.
  • the organic fraction can be up to 50% by volume, which in some cases has to be removed by complex and lengthy processes before sintering. This step becomes particularly difficult when different materials such as ceramics / metal are joined together to form a part, since the organic process auxiliaries must then also be driven out under inert conditions.
  • the task of organic processing aids should be made from inorganic materials. lien are taken over, which convert into the ceramic material during sintering.
  • the present invention thus relates to a process for the production of composite materials which comprise at least one shrinkage-adapted ceramic material component, which is characterized in that the starting material for the ceramic material component (s), their vibration behavior during sintering to be adapted to the rest of the material component (s), is selected so that the ceramic-forming component thereof essentially consists of:

Purpose of this pretreatment can e.g. be to adjust the rheology of the offset and / or (especially in the case of nanoscale powders) the solids content.
  • the particles of the ceramic powders used in the present invention can have various shapes, for example spherical, platelet-shaped, fibrous, etc.

  • the shrinkage behavior of the (very sinter-active) powder (i) must be matched to that of the coarser powder.
  • Sinter-inhibiting secondary phases in the form of powder (ii) are used for this.
  • the specific materials of the powder (ii) depend on the nature of the powder (i). For ⁇ -Al 2 0 3 as powder (i), for example SiC, mullite or ZrO. can be used as powder (ii).

  • the one or possibly several remaining material component (s) of the composite material to be produced according to the invention can be selected from various materials which, in combination with a ceramic material, can be processed to a usable composite material and can withstand a sintering process .

In this way, new material combinations and construction designs can be realized on sintered documents. It is also possible to seal or compensate for surface defects using thin layers of ceramic.

  • Existing agglomerates are destroyed by ultrasound treatment and the suspension is stabilized by means of an organic dispersion aid (polyacrylic acid, 1% by weight, based on the powder).
  • the suspension is then poured into plaster molds to produce a green body.
  • the green body After drying, the green body is calcined at 1000 ° C for 30 minutes.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de matériaux composites céramiques comportant au moins un constituant céramique adapté au retrait. Ce procédé est caractérisé en ce que le produit de départ du ou des constituants céramiques dont le comportement, sur le plan du retrait lors du frittage, doit être adapté à l'autre ou aux autres constituants du matériau, est choisi de telle manière que son constituant qui forme une céramique soit constitué essentiellement par: a) au moins une poudre céramique (i) dont la grosseur de particules va jusqu'à 500 nm; b) au moins une poudre céramique (i) telle qu'elle est définie en a), mélangée à au moins une poudre (ii) comportant au moins une substance inhibant le frittage, dont la grosseur de particules est inférieure ou égale à celle de la poudre (i), ou c) au moins une poudre céramique (i) telle qu'elle est définie en a), mélangée à au moins une poudre céramique (iii) dont les particules ont une grosseur supérieure à celle de la poudre employée (i) et allant jusqu'à 500 νm.
